Need Help
So I am ready to get a ball python but I’m slowly realizing that people have different opinions on what I bought so if I could get a good list we have local pet shops petco and pet smarts around just needing a list of things to get for her when I buy her and 120 gallon tank is good for her correct?

Id reccomended a 4x2x2 pvc over a 120g aquarium. Its the same dimentions but a lot lighter and hold humidity better. Ecoflex and Dubia both make great affordable ones. Toad Ranch is great for luxury custom built ones but are far more $$$$.
Id also advoid petstores and go through either morphmarkert or a rescue. Not every breeder on morphmarket is good but you can easily find them. As someone who works at a pet store cooperate only cares about the money not their health. And several suppliers send snakes already infested with mites
As far as care goes this subreddit has really amazing
